Not sure where this idea came from, but I got it from Crystal Kubitsky at CIM…

She kept track of and collected all of the ideas that were nixed for one reason or another while moving towards the current release. (So, you could review the good ideas when you started the next release.)

When deadlines are tight: daily 15-minute standing (literally, standing-up) status meetings. Purpose is strictly to raise red flags and determine what needs to shift to resolve them. If it’s not a red flag,table it for another conversation.

Thank you list: from the resource manager to your contact in legal to the security guard who gave you quarters when you needed to park fast. It’s worth remembering the large and small things that worked right when you are staffing the next engagement.
